Purge, your quote of choice strikes me as a reference from "The Abyss." I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you meant the director's cut of it too.

I was going to go with the "It looks like you guys are gonna be out of a job" from the directors cut at the end, when the ship captain (above sea) is talking to the op commander. I couldn't think of what came before it and the quote by itself is WAY to obscure to stand alone.

I try to go for enjoyable rather than difficult. I'm not trying to stump people, just make 'em remember cool scenes from some of my favorite movies.

BUMP

Is no one reading this thread or is that not as easy a quote as I thought.

It's from a very famous movie that I would guess most of america has seen - in fact my wife insists that we watch it once a year.

Must be a seasonal movie if you expect us to watch it yearly. I doubt it's Christmas vacation or Scrooged (I'd remember a line like that). The only other two I can think of would be Miracle on 34th st or it's a wonderful life.

(I've only seen Miracle once, doubt it's in there, and never watched a wonderful life, but it's on a goddamned lot in december. I keep seeing advertising for them eating at a chinese resteraunt or something. )

The quote is from "It's a wonderful life" and it's actually a really great movie you should check out one year. It's an old black and white film with James Stewart and Donna Reed.

However I think it's not the one your're thinking of - the movie with them eating at a chinese restaurant is probably "A Christmas Story". That's also a classic.

See ? I told you I didn't see it. Hell, I got the wrong movie title.. LOL

K. A quote, eh?

"And I came up over this dune, and I saw the ocean... and it was on fire. The whole thing on fire; andit was beautiful. So I just sat there and watched it, and that's when I realized there might be a meaning to life, you know, like an organic power that connects all living things, God, Jahwe, I dunno. "
